Through the theme "Kazalište sjena u dječjem vrtiću" in the introduction, I explained the role playing has and children's relationship towards playing with dolls. Playing is an essential part of childhood and because of that we can conclude that a child gains more life knowledge and experience by playing various games. It is important to highlight the fact that lights play a big role, because with them we can create various shapes and sizes. I paid a lot of attention to shadows which present a child an unknown subject, something that can give them great interest to self-study and explore. A doll has a big role in encouraging a child's emotional, cognitive and social development so it's important for children to create dolls themselves, with which they will perform a show. There are different workshops in which children can actively participate in. Exploring the shadow theater I conducted an activity in a kindergarten. The goal of the activity was to encourage the children to actively participate, to acquire new knowledge and experience and to improve their communication among other children.
